Company Overview

Flux has developed the world’s first Optical Tensor Processing Unit (OTPU). Flux's OTPUs are custom-designed AI accelerators optimized for training and inference of large AI models. Join us in London to be part of a dynamic team that thrives on innovation and speed.

The role

We’re searching for Senior Embedded Engineers to design and build high-performance tooling supporting OTPU hardware development. You will own tools for hardware safety, calibration, debugging, and validation, from concept to deployment, rapidly iterating and delivering robust embedded solutions to optimize OTPU performance.

Responsibilities

• Architect robust tooling for hardware validation and bring-up, with rapid prototyping in Python and a clear path to production.
• Design and implement embedded systems for hardware safety, synchronization, and low-level control.
• Develop calibration and debug tooling, primarily in Python.
• Define and implement CI/CD infrastructure for embedded development, ensuring fast iteration and system integrity.
• Create systems for real-time monitoring, diagnostics, and fault handling across OTPU hardware.
• Define boundaries between prototype and production code for maintainability.
• Collaborate with optical, hardware, and software teams to align on system interfaces and performance goals.

Skills & Experience

• 5+ years experience with hardware bring-up, calibration, and debugging (e.g., SoCs, FPGAs, AI accelerators)
• Proficiency in C/C++ for embedded applications, with understanding of real-time constraints and hardware interfaces
• Strong Python skills for prototyping and automation
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines for embedded systems
• Hardware debugging skills (oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, JTAG)
• Understanding of hardware/software boundaries, bus protocols, and memory-mapped I/O
• Excellent communication skills; ability to thrive in fast-paced, cross-disciplinary start-up environments.

Details

• Salary: £135,000 - £165,000 depending on experience
• Stock options in a growing AI company
• Location: London, Kings Cross, with a 45-minute commute requirement; additional £24,000/year for those within 20 minutes
• Healthcare insurance
• Private use of 3D printer
